In My Kitchen

A dear friend of mine I chat with almost everyday told me about this cookies. She works for an Arab family in Dubai. One day one of her college students she sits, brought a friend home and made this cookies. She took a picture and I like what I saw. She said she didn't get the cookies name. So, I Googled folded cookies. I found some pictures. I asked my friend what are the ingredients the person used. All that stand out was cottage cheese. Today I finally found the correct one I wanted from Olga's Flavor Factory. She called this "Soft Farmer's Cheese Cookies." With mine I omitted the 2 tablespoons of cold water and I used small curd cottage cheese (juice & all) instead of Farmer's Cheese. I have to check my local grocery store for the latter. I have never seen it before, but again I wasn't looking for it.

My second entree for FTF, hosted by Willa @ Food Trip Friday. This was made with the help of four little ones. You can't believe how hyper my kids were after having some of this cookies. The recipe can be found here in my blog under " Sugar Cookies ". We made this last Saturday just for the event. Please help yourselves.

Now that you have some hot cocoa , here are some cookies fresh out of the oven. I think we need to wait a little because it's kinda hard to pick it up when it's this soft. I like it best when they are chewy after cooling down. Please help yourselves to have some energy I mean cookies while shopping for Christmas present. And don't forget to grab some hot cocoa to keep you warm.
